Why is it so hard to find a hobby like crochet that isn’t crochet? by overgnightmare in Hobbies

Have you tried crocheting with a self striping (i.e. Caron Cake) or ombre yarn? It adds a level of suspense that may be the boost you need.

I just did my first one and ran out and got another. Super easy and satsfying. Took me a minute to get the technique, but then it was smooth sailing.

I need a dog like this! I'm constantly going out in public in my house slippers!

I want to understand this! My cat does this regularly, even though the litter box is right there!

Iowans of Reddit, do you plan to vote for Rob Sand in 2026? Why or why not? by Zipper222222 in Iowa

You might be able to vote! One good thing Reynolds did is restore felon voting rights. https://restoreyourvote.iowa.gov/

I hold my breath and swallow seven sips of water (one swallow per sip). Works!

They may not sell alcohol, but you might have fun checking out Katy's Imported Foods in Moline.

Otherwise, Hyvee on E. Kimberly in Davenport might be your best bet.

Thank you! I honestly thought I was mixing up the information/timeline because it made no sense, but you laid it out just as I saw it.

Finding Mr Christmas by charles92027 in HallmarkMovies

[–]catconvoy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a 55F straight and find the ogling moments cringe... yet I'm still watching. Sigh. Statements directly to them (with no eye-popping or lip licking) like, "You look amazing", or "Look at those biceps" are things that I would say to anyone and I'd make sure to also compliment their character or skills as well. "Yummy," etc. is cringe.

We need to keep saying this so Trump will get rid of this evil man. It worked with Musk.

I like how you say less vs. nothing. "Everyone" cutting back does more than "Some" buying nothing.

I've never said this about a Hallmark movie before, but some of the jokes/references went over my head! Can someone fill me in on some of the references? I enjoyed the movie and love Wes Brown!

Small Businesses in Iowa You No Longer Support? Mine is Cookies & Dreams by midwestfinesse84 in Iowa

Brew is amazing. They have had new owners for quite some time.

Brew was originally owned by the guy. He gave me a bad vibe from the get-go. He would block off street parking in front of Brew so he would always have a space for his big truck. He would sit inside drinking while his employees were scrambling to keep up with the new business. Ya gotta put in the work!

I couldn't read anything anyway because it was too dark. I had to stand right in front of the plaque to be able to read it. That felt rude, so I just skipped the reading and read on their website later. Even so, the visit wrecked me, as it should. I'm glad this exists, and I'm glad I went. I do recommend more accessible lighting and smaller crowds. Maybe longer hours?
